Teddy Appeal

Making changes one teddy at a time

Where are the teddies going?

In July 2017 some teddies went to the Support after Crime Services in Cork City. They were very welcome and have already been distributed. There has been a request for some more. It is wonderful to find new ways of helping families in need.

On Tuesday 19th of April about 200 "Comfort Teddies" made by Mothers' Union members and friends were delivered to L.E.Roisin by the Diocesan President of the Mothers’ Union, Patsy Devoy, with her husband Robert and her granddaughter.

The LÉ Róisín departed the Irish Naval Base at Haulbowline in Cork Harbour, for the Mediterranean on a three-month humanitarian mission to aid migrants fleeing Syria, as well as other Middle Eastern and African countries. This is the fourth such mission of the Irish Naval Service in the past year.
